1. Start your housing contract

Please use your student ID number (located on your admissions letter) to gain access to the housing contract, available October 1, 2016.

2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

The FAFSA is available at www.fafsa.ed.govstarting October 1, 2016, with a priority deadline of January 1, 2017. If you complete the FAFSA prior to January 1, your award letter will be mailed in March.

3. Register for placement testing

Registration for the University of Wisconsin System placement testing begins February 1, 2017. All incoming freshmen are required to take a Math Placement Test (MPT) to determine their initial math placement. Students who do not take the MPT will not be able to register for a math course or a course with a math prerequisite. We recommend that all students with previous foreign language coursework (Spanish, German or French) take the appropriate placement test(s). You'll be placed in English based on your ACT/SAT sub-score or previous college-level coursework. Please visit the Center for Placement Testing for more information:testing.wisc.edu/centerpages/regionaltesting.html
